29 PALMS HOTEL NEAR TORTOISE ROCK CASINO

Tortoise Rock Casino opened in 2014 and has become a go-to attraction for locals and visitors to Twentynine Palms. Less than three miles from the Holiday Inn Express Twentynine Palms, the Tortoise Rock Casino has 490 slot machines, five table games, and two poker tables. Run by the Twentynine Palms Band of Mission Indians, who also run the Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella, the Tortoise Rock Casino is a big draw for high desert residents who don’t want to make the trek out to the casinos in the Palm Springs area. The casino also features a bar and lounge area, as well as a small stage for live entertainment.
